The Scavengers

Chapter 12 The Boy's Diary

Before 6:19 pm on June [-]

"This is the diary of Liu Yu, the high school student who committed suicide." The child said as he inserted the USB flash drive into the computer port.

"I've been fine for the past two days. I checked out the video of Liu Yu's visit to your store that day. I always felt that this sudden epidemic had something to do with Liu Yu. I just wanted to see if he had Symptoms of the disease, but it turned out that I found this USB flash drive, which contains some very interesting things, which may be helpful to your current situation."

Xiao Mo calmed down, "What's written in it?"

"You'll know it when you see it."

Xiao Mo subconsciously looked at the time displayed on the bottom right of the computer screen. It was 15:42, two and a half hours before the mission time limit.

Where is the mission target?As soon as this idea came to Xiao Mo's mind, that map appeared again, this time the red mark on the map was fixed at a certain place and did not move.

"System, is the mother of gluttonous beasts you're talking about human?"

"Yes."

"Then what do you mean by asking me to take her back?"

"Using what you can understand means killing. In addition, please keep 80% of the recovery target intact, otherwise it will affect the completion of the mission."

"Kill? You asked me to kill?!" Xiao Mo laughed angrily, "Get lost!"

The system is very calm: "If you don't do the task, there will be two results. First, you will be wiped out. Second, the gluttonous beast virus will be spread."

Hold! "What is the Gluttonous Beast Virus?"

System, "As the name suggests, this virus will cause creatures to have a desire to overeat, and finally become irrational hungry ghosts who only know how to eat."

Xiao Mo was torn between reading the diary first, or completing the task first?He looked at the child, and said in the simplest terms the tasks the system asked him to do and some things the system told him.

Xue Lihong thought for three seconds, "We don't know much about the system. You don't want to kill people, right? Then I suggest you read the diary first, it won't take much time anyway."

Just when the USB flash drive program was started, a login window for the diary system appeared on the computer screen.

"Do you know the login name and password?" Xiao Mo looked at the child as if opening his own diary, and logged in very smoothly.

The child shrugged, "A password of this level can be easily solved with a decoding program."

The diary contains a lot of content, and the child dragged the mouse to quickly flip through a few pages, "I don't need to read the previous ones. Most of them are the groans of children with secondary illnesses. The focus is on the last few articles, starting from May 5."

Xiao Mo twitched the corner of his mouth and took the mouse, opened these diaries one by one, and began to read them quickly.

It was sunny on March 5.

I saw a dead man today!I also ran into him!

Damn spring outing!I hate spring outings!I hate that old lady in charge!I hate everyone!Why don't they die? !

That dead man is terrible!

The damn old woman not only didn't comfort me, but also scolded me for running around!Old woman, menopause!

The first time I got so close to a foreigner, it was a dead foreigner...

I was so scared, I could see that horrible face as soon as I closed my eyes!

……

It was sunny on March 5.

sky!I got a training system!

How interesting?Just like the protagonists of those science fiction novels!

Will I become a very powerful and imposing man in the future?Well, for sure!

I will keep this secret and not tell anyone, what is the reward for completing the task?Can I get superpowers?

……

September 5, rain.

The first task actually asked me to recover a bird.

That bird was so hard to catch, I didn't make it to the time limit.

Oh, the punishment for not completing the task is too painful! (repeat more than ten lines)

It has punishment!

The system is not cute at all, I hate it! ! !

...will it really kill me?

Was that foreigner also obliterated by it because of the failure of the mission?

...I'm so scared, I want to tell Dad about it...

September 6, overcast.

The second task of the first level came, and it was more troublesome than I imagined. I was still in class, but I had to recover 64 eggs.

Fortunately, the map is easy to use, and those eggs are more conspicuous, otherwise when would I find them?

……

I got a reward, and the reward has three options: increase physical strength by 3%, increase memory by 3%, and modify appearance by 3%.

I chose to increase my memory, because there is an exam, I hope I can memorize those damn English words and formulas!

But the rewards are really picky!

September 6, rain.

The system said that because one mission was not completed, I had to complete another mission to be promoted to level two.

In the third mission, the system asked me to recover a carbon-based synthetic metal virus carrier.

……

September 6, rain.

My parents followed me secretly out of concern for me, but I didn't know it, and the system didn't remind me.

Fortunately, my parents came, and the carrier of the carbon-based synthetic metal virus turned out to be a wild dog. The most frightening thing was that there were two other big wild dogs who looked very ferocious beside it.

When the time limit came, the two wild dogs were chased away. In order to save me, my parents were bitten by the wild dog of the carbon-based synthetic metal virus carrier.

But with the help of my parents, I managed to stone that wild dog to death!

But because the time limit was exceeded, the system still judged that my task was not completed, and gave me a punishment... I hate it!

It was sunny on March 6.

If the next mission fails, I will be obliterated!

It's still a first-level mission, but this time the mission is to take back my parents!

(repeat multiple lines below)

I asked the system what happened to my parents, but it only replied that they were all infected by the carbon-based synthetic metal virus and became contagious infected bodies, which must be recovered within the time limit!

It was sunny on March 6.

They are sick!

It was I who killed them!

The system only lets us recycle them, but doesn't help me save them!No matter how much I beg for it!I hate it!

……

Their condition is getting dire and I want to send them to the hospital...

But how do I answer the doctor and the police?

Will they arrest me?

Will those scientists dissect me to find out the system?

I am really scared!Who can help me?

Afraid they would run out and harm others, I tied them up, but they didn't struggle.I also gagged their mouths, lest they yell.

I'm such a bastard, I'm not human!

Dad, Mom, I'm sorry...

It was sunny on March 6.

I asked the system if the hospital could take care of my parents.

It answered me that with the current medical capabilities of the earth, no one can help my parents.

I asked it what would become of my parents if they didn't recycle them.

The system replied to me that they would become new source of disease and spread the virus to more people.

……

I asked it if the virus would have spread if I hadn't recovered the dingo.

The system answered me, saying yes, as long as the time limit is reached.

……

I asked it, if my parents didn't come to help me that day, and I was only there, if I was bitten by that wild dog, would I also be infected with the virus.

The system says no.Because I am its training object, it will help me purify.

I asked if it could purify my parents and it said no, it only helps the implanted.

……

I hate the system, and I hate myself!

I killed my own parents, and I will kill more people in the future!

I'm not a hero, I'm just a donkey!

I've decided, I'm going to kill them, and then myself, to make it all over!

The diary ends here.

Xiao Mo checked the time, it was exactly 16:00.

After reading the diary, it explained to a certain extent the reason and process of the virus, but it also made him have more questions.

Who and for what purpose is this system being developed?

How do they choose trainers?completely random?

And what do those tasks represent?

Carbon-based synthetic metal virus?What kind of virus is this?And who made it?

etc!The system once issued him the task of recovering Liu Wang and his wife, and he directly regarded the sound of the system as an auditory hallucination, so now the carbon-based synthetic metal virus is breaking out, is it because he did not recover Liu Wang and his wife in time? ?

"Xiaohong, do you still remember that the outbreak of the virus happened after 16:23 on the evening of the 45th?" Xiao Mo asked heavily in a low voice.

Xue Lihong is not very sure, "I can only tell you that the early morning of the 17th was the outbreak period, and a large number of patients collapsed that night."

Xiao Mo said bitterly, "Then Liu Wang and his wife..."

"I don't know." The child shook his head bluntly, "It should have been taken away, and his whereabouts are unknown at present, and he does not know whether he is dead or alive."

"System?" Xiao Mo wanted to ask the system.

The system answered him coldly: "It's not related to the mission, so I won't answer it."

go to hell!Xiao Mo clenched his fists.

Xue Lihong tapped the screen, "Liu Yu probably had a death wish when he bought a knife in your store that day. He probably left this USB flash drive in the hope that someone would discover this secret someday. But maybe because of shame, he He didn’t want people to discover this secret so quickly, so he stuck the USB flash drive to the bottom of the shelf where it’s not easy for people to find.”

Xiao Mo still has a very important question, "System, did you kill the child because you didn't complete the task?"

The system quickly replied: "No, the last time the trainer's mental endurance was too poor, he had already chosen to self-destruction before reaching the mission time limit."

"That's because you asked him to take back his parents! You are asking him to kill his father and mother! You bastard!" Xiao Mo was angry.

The system said coldly: "He is a scavenger and must complete the task."

Xiao Mo thumped the table heavily.

The child patted Xiao Mo on the back, "Let's go, go and complete your task. When is the time limit?"

"The task content is to recover Li Xiaoshuang, the mother of gluttonous beasts. The time limit is before 18:15 China Standard Time today." Xiao Mo paused word by word.

"Old Xiao?" The child asked strangely seeing him sitting still.

Xiao Mo hugged his head, "Whether to solve her or not, I will wait until I find her. I can't decide whether this system is good or bad. I can't kill people just because it wants to kill me? As for it saying that it won't take back these tasks Target, the virus will spread, no one knows if it is true, right?"

The child looked at him lightly, "You already know the answer."

Liu Wang and his wife, the carbon-based virus is spreading!Xiao Mo wiped his face.At this time, he still didn't know the more serious consequences of not taking back Liu Wang and his wife. Although he felt a certain amount of guilt psychologically, he didn't completely blame himself. Who wouldn't have doubts if a system popped up in his head?

And this ghost system didn't remind him any more after the task was given, so he thought it was a temporary auditory hallucination even more.

Xue Lihong pushed him again, "Whether this system is good or bad, if you want to know whether what it says is true, you have to find the target first. Others, we will see the situation later."

It can only be the.Xiao Mo looked at the map in his mind again, and stood up, "The mission goal is approaching here, and she is likely to go to Lianbu Le Supermarket."

"I will go with you."

Xiao Mo wanted to refuse.

"Don't worry, if I see danger, I will hide away." The child didn't say that he was also very interested in the mother of the gluttonous beast.

Only then did Xiao Mo agree, and before going out, he grabbed a steel pipe for self-defense from the storage cabinet and put it in the shopping bag.
